ais transmission up
To configure Alarm Indication Signal (AIS) transmission on a Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) interface,
use the

command in interface CFM configuration mode. To disable AIS transmission
on an interface, use the no form of this command.

Usage Guidelines
To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task
IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator
for assistance.
AIS transmission packets for CFM can be configured only on interfaces with no down MEPs. AIS packets
are transmitted only if a MIP exists on the interface and the line protocol state is down. AIS messages are
transmitted up, toward the bridging function (same direction as an up MEP sends CCMs), and they are
transmitted at the level of the MIP.
If AIS transmission is configured on an interface with any down MEPs, the configuration is ignored, and an
error is displayed in the
show ethernet cfm configuration-errors
command.
